Nickel and Dimed Part 1

Barbara Ehenriech first chunk helps me analayze that the book makes me want to feel sympathetic towards hard working people becuase its not that there lazy workewrs its just that some of the people that make america just dont get the chance to have the oppurtinities that we have to be able to work hand in hand with doctors in a special careers program that my schol- king drew medical magnet high school- has and being able to go to college with special reccomendations from our teachers while they (workers of america) just have to find low paying jobs working hard but with minimun wage to try to feed themselves and there families.

In the next 55 pages of Mary Roach's Stiff she explains the great use of human cadavers. The ways of how it helps us living humans in ways that some people might not know of.
